Help that works

 

 

IPA is engaged in transitional and developing countries with
focus on learning and education.

IPA offers help for self-help, e.g. through projects in the fields of food production and water supply as well as the issuance of micro credits.


The unique aspect of the IPA brand is the
integration of youth in the implementation of projects. This gives Swiss students the opportunity to gain formative experiences.


School classes and junior-teams define, plan and execute their projects independently but are supervised by experienced IPA staff.

 

All projects are inspected by IPA on location, and once completed, are checked over again. This way all donors have the guaranty that their money is being used in exactly the right places and that people are really getting the help they need.

Short, but intense: the Junior Team in Albania


Albania. The working days started early and ended late. "We wouldn't have lasted another day", said one of the Juniors before the return flight. Additionally, there were a lot of new impressions affecting the three students. To top it all, bad weather conditions made it challenging particularly for the two managing directors who had to drive on steep and muddy roads to remote mountain villages.

Wherever the Swiss helpers appeared they were welcomed with great joy. "Not even the high schools in the big cities are so well equipped as we are now," said the director in Muhurr, whose school received the Junior Team's support in the form of an exceptionally large project. The improved education is a real opportunity for the youngsters of that region. But emigration remains a hot topic, which is why the IPA working journey was also used for talking with the regional authorities in Bulqizë about a comprehensive economic development programme. A good education combined with a prospect of work in one's own country – that is what the young people in Albania need.
